any mods around....
give this thread some airtime on the home page......it deserve to be seen.

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

I would like to suggest 4 new features.

1. A redial/history button (saves the last 5-10 numbers dialed)

2. Letters on the keypad (so I can dial 1-800-abc-defg without googling phone dialpad to see the numbers)

3. Be able to use the N810's Keyboard to dial (incorporate this into number 2, if a letter is typed instead of a number it will automatically use the number that is assigned to that letter)

4. Bigger backspace button (almost impossible to hit it with a finger)

Oherwise I love this app!
I was previously using http://www.internetcalls.com/en/freetrialcall.php to make calls to numbers not in my address book.

So, can these ideas be implemented?

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

Hmm....I'd like to see that too, but it will take some work.

I don't want to duplicate the functions of a real contact list app (and Brontide's got the right idea about doing the integration via the dbus...and it should be extended to looking up numbers to dial, like the phonelink app does with contactinfos), but it would be nice to record the dialed number, a timestamp, and whether the call was successful (at least as far as the wget command).

Sure, that's easy.
Probably not too hard.
That's the easiest request of them all!
Thanks.

The suggestions are good. I'll probably do some work on them this weekend.

Of course, it's an open-source Python script, so anyone is freely available to hack it up.

Ahh... yes I did name it GC... thanks for clarifying it! now I have to wait for the GC numbers to be available again... I gave my # away (to a friend overseas) thinking that I could just reinvite myself! should have check first... do you guys think this will remain free or skype is the next best thing after this? (sorry for hijacking this thread)

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

It doesn't work on my 700 OS2006. It installed fine, but when I dial the numbers and hit dial, the screen just go away and do nothing. Does it work on OS2006?

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

Get above problem even after re-booting

N810/OS2008

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

the 770 will need modifications to work as the location of the cookies.txt is probaby different under Opera.

as for n810, can you confirm your settings under m.grandcentral.com?

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

RESOLVED - maybe I missed it - don't know -

You have to leave grandcentral mobile running in additional to the GC dialer program and it worked.

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 

You do not even need the browser running, just the correct cookies in the file. It's possible the cookies are not written right away so you should be good from now on. (with or without gc open in the background)
